Palin resigns
- Posted by Chris on July 3rd, 2009 filed in General, Politics, Sarah Palin
Maybe she didn’t want to be president as badly as her fans wanted her to? I don’t know. What I do know is that this is a killer for most careers and more that likely will be for her. However, just as Obama rode a perfect storm to the White House, maybe Palin can as well. Remember, the big reason that Obama won was Bush fatigue. People were so fed up with Bush and his party that they went with the unknown quantity despite the obvious flaws. If there would have been a video of Obama dealing drugs to preschoolers, it would not have mattered. He would still have been elected. That’s how badly Bush and the Republicans were hated in November. Now, the tide is turning.
There’s a good chance that Obama/Democrat fatigue will be just as great, especially when the cap and trade impact starts hitting in a couple years. Toss on his taxes and other economy killers and Americans will be ready for new blood again. Even after this, Palin could win that matchup. She would just have to get out of the primaries. That would be the tough part, yes, but her fan base is pretty rabid so it’s possible. And if not, hey, we have that nice photo shoot in Runners World!
But then again, maybe she is just looking to be private citizen Palin for the rest of her life. One of the things I really admire about her is that she is down to Earth and just like the rest of us. Speaking for myself, if I was in her shoes, I’d walk away too rather than deal with all the crap. In the meantime, another star falls from the Republican sky. If they keep disappearing like this, we’ll have to dig up Reagan’s corpse and run it. Hey, wait a minute, maybe that would work. Obama is just a teleprompter reading puppet, maybe we can get Reagan’s corpse, tie some strings to it for motion control and play some of his speeches. It just might work.
Anyway, my ADD is running amok. Sorry. God Speed Sarah Palin in what ever you decide and thanks for being the only thing worthwhile in the last election.

Apparently, the Wasilla sports complex was built by Spenard building supplies. The same company supplied the building supplies for her home. The feds has been investigating, and have recently seized documents that link the construction help in building her home to the steering of the building contracts, especially the sports complex to that company.
Chris says:
Highly doubtful there’s any there there Glen. That state was turned upside down by every democratic race whore, acorn slimeball, lawyer, etc just looking for something to get her on. Something like that would have blown the fake troopergate out of the water and had her removed from the ticket.
I googled the sports complex and federal and the only links were to dailykos and a couple other left wing blogs. Based on that, I would doubt there’s much to it. But then again, I’ve been wrong before so we’ll see how it plays out.

If I had to take a guess, I’d say a combination of the non-stop media pile-on in addition to what every REPUTABLE news source has described as a flood of bogus ethics complaints lodged against her probably cowed her into this decision. Personally I think she probably never wanted to leave the whole small-town mayor role, and in her jump from governor to VP candidate discovered the big game is much less fun than the small one she was used to.

If the left hasn’t found anything yet, I doubt there is anything to find. She is probably tired of having to defend herself from false accusations, which detracts from her time to actually govern her state and other ventures.
GlenF says:
Her choice is inscrutable.
That being said, she was brutally attacked. I wonder what would happen to the career of comedian or pundit that attacked Sotomayor with the vehemence or ghastly tactics used by both parties (clearly most of the fault lies with the Left). She made mistakes, but seriously, how can anybody, especially feminists think that her treatment was fair. I hope I would be able to hang on as long as she did.
